Mad About Men is a 1954 British Technicolor comedy film directed by Ralph Thomas and starring Glynis Johns, Donald Sinden, Anne Crawford and Margaret Rutherford. It was written by Peter Blackmore, who also wrote the 1948 film Miranda which preceded Mad About Men. Johns appears in both films as the mermaid Miranda.[1] However, Rank Films insisted it was not a sequel.[2]

The film was shot at Pinewood Studios and on location at Polperro in Cornwall and Long Crendon in Oxfordshire.[3] Filming also took place in Brighton including at the Palace Pier. The film's sets were designed by the art director George Provis.
